Disasters come in many forms—fires, hurricanes, and even acts of violence in our schools.

Despite common perception, brick, stone & CMU construction isn’t costly—it’s a smart investment. Consider these statistics:

In 2023, the U.S. experienced 28 weather-related disasters exceeding $1 billion each in damages. Hurricanes have made landfall in 12 states since 2020. (NOAA)
In 2022, wildfires destroyed nearly 2.7 million acres nationwide. (HHS.gov)
